l THE I HDEX CUIQIQICULUM 6'0h, Miriam, just think, I shall come to high school in January! Do you think that I'll like it? What's it like? Of course you'll like it. I'll tell you a little about it. If a student fol- lows the regular plan and carries four subjects for four years and re- ceives passing grades, he is given a diploma. Each student who has a regular program has four classes and three study periods each day. There are exceptions to this, as a freshman has library instructions once a week. Sophomores and juniors, likewise, have gymnasium work one period every day. The sciences, chemistry, biology, and' physics, require an ex- tra laboratory hour twice a week. The students have their choice of two main courses of study. Under the classical course come sciences, his- tories, and foreign languages, while various phases of business, under the commercial. Freshmen are required to take three specified subjects, choosing a fourth. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors are required to take two, and may select two others. The subjects required of a freshman are English, citizenship, and general scienceg those of a sophomore are English, and algebra. A junior must take English and geometry, and a senior, English and United States history. Besides the required sciences a student may choose chemistry, bio- logy, or physics. The mathematics offered aside from the required are advanced algebra and solid geometry. Ancient, medieval, and modern his- tory are among those available. In the study of foreign languages, one may select a four-year Latin course, or a two-year German or French course. Dramatics, public-speaking, and speech fundamentals are offered to those interested in speaking. Such worthwhile subjects as salesmanship, economics, and sociology are also in- cluded in the curriculum. A broad selection is also available for the commercial students, such as busi- ness English, shorthand, typing, bookkeeping, arithmetic, and com- mercial law. 'Gln subordination to the regular school life go the extra-curricular activities which help to give a per- son practical experience. 9,,,f' SQ' pkg- C ' - N P r 'A .lf I, .. ,,.
